On the whole, the cau.e of the I'mox never
looked so hnpoful, since the day that the rel.x.4
lion was hatched in CI arlest on , than it did at
the latt advices. A rebellion, to gain favor or
evtn symj-iatliy at lioine or abroad, must alway
be mol ing forward. A halt in a rebellion is a
cheek to its uceci ; a retreat ii death to it. A
g-iv eminent tliat cun keep a rebellion ct a s'und
still, and prevent its ptininp; ground, while itself
is inwufina; and preparing its forces to cruh it
out, can never forfeit the rcct of other nation
alities. Thi is the j resent po-iti'jn of the
American I'nion ; it holds the rebellion at bay
checked, but not crushed whilst it is prepar
ing, cautiously but vigorously, to extinguish
every vet-tigo of it, by calling out its force on a
scale of grandeur and strength, that would have
dune honor to Napoleon the (Jreat in his jKilniie6t
da vs. The issuo of this creat war movement
1 cannot le long delayed.
j We do not believe that it is the intention of
j the North or of the Government to intermeddle
I with Kiavery, so lar as it concerns Uic slaves ol
L'nion men, or of those who have Ptood neutral
during the rebellion, and perhaps not even of
th"e who havo been actively engaged in the
rtliellion, provided the Southern States return to
their allegiance to the federal government, as we
doubt nor they will - just as soon as the jxiwcr of
the rebel leaders is broken, anil the proptt; if the
SoiithiTn. Stairs take tlie. power again into tuir
own hands. Uut tdiould "worse come to worst, "
and all hope of peace and reunion be destroyed,
the united sentiment of the North, nnd of the
whole world too, will undoubtedly demand that
every root and vestige of fhivery be swept forever
from the American Continent, rather than to
permit the continuance and existence of such a
discordant element or power within the natural
boundaries of the ltepublie. The power of an
exasperated people is terrible and irresistable,

The most interesting intelligence brought by

watched the progress of this great enterprise
with much interest, and its completion, even
before the time set for it, will carry a thrill of

My ctject in plnntirg rice is to realize the most
benefit with the lcttst expense. PUnting out rice
bjr hand, gives no doubt very j ro!io crrps, but to
advise any one, who internls to go largely iuto the
culture of rice, to plant tut the entire crcp, wculj
be, in hit opinion, wrung, as I myself do not follow
that plan. I leave a few patches urplantcJ, an sow
All the rest broadcast. If the crop is not very even,
what rrtsy hfippen, I fill up where lacking and pull
out where too much, aod with the overplus I fill up
the empty patches. Planting in rows is also unne
cessary labor. Plant all around you, and wherever
ycu can s-tick a plant handy.
To shelter the rice land against wind, I can reccm
nieni noihing better than the Prazil banana, and
sugar cane, planted cn the ku iunas. The banana in
b few years will wake a perfectly solid wall, and
growing very high, and at the same time ah:e to
withstaud the hardest blows, I conceive cf nothing
better. In regard to the stone wnlls which niest in
variably compose the kua-mas, I advi-e you to get
rid of them ly degrees. It is net Deeded that the
kuaunas are either very high or very bio.-td, with the
exception of thoe destined to be planted by ban nun 9
or sugar-cane, and you will find that the stones are
but a harbor for rats and mice, while at the same
time a kuauna composed of earth alone, and con
stantly kept uioi.-t by the surrounding water, offers
not a very desirable habitation to vermin.
All hough rice receives a large amount cf nourish
ment from the water, and the most from running
water, manuring will greatly beuefit the jicld. Cow
manure, as far as my experience goes, is of great
t em fit. I shall try this time a mixture of lime and
soda, nnd inform you of the result. I have no doubt
that alkaline manures must be very useful. In re
gard to planting, I wish to tell you, tint I think cue
single plant sufficient in its place. I am aware that
some innovations have been made, but would not
advise you to follow the example, although a trial
would perhaps not be a great loss.
Where the land intended for rice can be laid dry,
a great advantage in labor and expense will accrue
to the planter, by working the ground with oxen,
which is a great saving of manual labor. I first cut
the rank grass reeds and rushes short, and when dry
burn them. Next I cut, with Mr. Ladd's newly im
ported spades, the lumps and knolls, which are
mass of roots, and throw ihem aside. After this, my
ground is even, and I prtceed to turn it over in broad
furrows very nicely, so that cue furrow claps even on
the other. Then I let the water on, say a foot high,
for about a fortnight, and by that time tho whole sod
is rotted. By going over the ground in the water
with a light harrow, so as cot to disturb the sod un
derneath, you have a fine mul, well manured un
derneath, bud ready for sowing. If the ground is
uot quite level, I take a long two inch bonrd, fix a
rope to each end, put two boys on the board, fasteti
the oxen to the rope and give the boys a most de
lightful circus ride over the slick mud, till the ground
is perfectly level. You have asked nie, of our taro
lands are suitable for rice. I hove visited the rush
land at Wuikiki, and us fir as my opinion goes, I
would udvise nobody to burn his fingers by under
taking rice culture in that delectable situation. As
long as any taro land can be had at any price, it is
belter than those rush 1 nds at a gift. The whole so
called soil is but a tangled mass of rush roots. The
labor and expense to extinguish those rushes must be
immense, (I know a little about that.) but wheu you
have taken out all the noxious roots, I would ask you
where is your soil ? Just about one foot deep under
the dirty, stagnant, brackish water, and just about
six or eight inches over the hard coral bed. You
have no means to regulate the water, which takes its
level from the ocean. Where you want to sow your
seed, I don't know. Every year your soil becomes
less and your water more, and stagnant water at
that, impregnated by the salt of the sea. Kice in
Carolina is raised on the tu .rshes, but the planter has
perfect control over the water. Although anxious to
see as much land cultivated in rice ns is possible, I
would advise none to go to work in laud where be can
neither sow nor reap.

".Via. Editor : Lieut. Wm. Reynolds and wife
whost departure ou the Speedwell you mentioned in
your paper of Hih inst., leave behind them a host
of frietels, to mourn their absence and to wish tbem
a speedy, pleasant passage home.
It is due to Lieut. Reynolds to say, that upon the
first news of hostilities in the United States, he for-
IUt At
least we thought so when we saw neig.wvr
the other mornit.g cal'.ing the aid of his three faith
ful canine companions, to take charge of about a
dozen rats which had unfbituiiattly strayed during
the night into that big wire trap, which is such n
effectual rat catcher. Rats cn shore are troublesome
euough, but when they take possession tf a ship,
they become a source of more mischief. Smoking s
often resorted to to rid vessels of rats and vermin; but
the latest ImpreYjment is that of siejmiitg. Ihe ex
periment was Srst tried by the Vie cn the brig Morn

L ttY Franklin. We are happy to learn that this
distinguished traveler, who with her niece spent a
few weeks here last summer, will visit Honolulu
again early in December. She takes passage for
China in the Clipper ship EldrUf, which was to
leave San Francisco during this month, aud will re
main here three days, during which time Lady F.
and ber niece will be the guests of the Minister of
Foreign Relations. During their stay in California
they have visited almost every nook and corner of
the state, even goiug over the Sierras to see the
Washoe mines. Lady F. is certainly a prodigy of
female heroism and physical endurance.
TiiASKsciviNO. Thursday, Nov. 28 is appointed
foj Thanksgiving We have not heard of any rise
in the price of poultry yet, but presume the dealers
are wide uwako. By the way, why can't we have
some of those monstrous fat wild turkeys that fenst
and fatten on the frosty slopes of Ilaleukala ? They
are said to be unrivalled for epirurean service.
Does any one know the truth about them ?
If advertising affords any sign of :he busi- J
ness prosperity of a city, aud it is said that it he
best criterion, then business in Honolulu is reviving,
for the capacity of our columns has never been more
tasked than for the past few weeks. It does not
take much observation to see that advertisements
draw customers, for most people have a penchant for
looking at new things, and few can resist the desire
to buy what they see, ami what they think nobody
else lias got. -

for supplies that' can 'only be obtained from
abroad ; and as the blockade, (which, by the
way, is the most extensive that the annals of
modern or ancient warfare have recorded.) is now
being enforced with such rigor as to effectually
bar commerce, the people of the Southern States
must soon be compelled to endure the severest

NOTES OF THE AVEEK.
The Wharves During the past few weeks, the
shipping in port has crowded freely about the
wharves, leaving no berths unoccupied. On Mon
day, there were sixteen vessels lying nt the Goveru
"ment Wharves, and four more waiting their turn to
come up. Notwithstanding our increased wharf.ige
accommodations, there would seem to be room for
still further extension. By the way, we notice that
vessels, sven smaller ones like the brig Sheet Anchor.
cannot, when loaded, haul alongside the Esplanade
opposite the Coal Yards, for want of sufficient depth
of water. We would sugsest that the mud-digger be
set to work sgain to remedy this defect, and mnke our
wharves more available. - The Esplanade will become
each year a more favorite place for the discharge of
oil, lumber and coal, nnd its piars ought to be kept
so as to accommodate the trade. Although our
wharves are crowded only a few weeks in each year,
we ought to be prepared to meet the wants of the

Those printed in italics are on tbe regular ticket

the rival tickets. - The only name that has received a
unanimous nomination from both meetings is that of
Wm. Webster, Esq., whose election will probably
meet with no opposition. The choice of the other
candidates on Tuesday was made with less unanimity.

The Kubbian Government is rapidly building a
telegraph line from St. Petersburg across Siberia
to the mouth of the Amoor River. At tbe latest
accounts it had been completed to the city of
Irkutsk, or about two-thirds of the distance
across the continent. When completed to the
mouth of the Amoor, it will be continued on to
Bhering's Straits, thence to Sikta, and probably
oo to Victoria, Vancouver's Inland, thence to
Oregon City and San Francisco.- At the rate the
work is now being pushed forward, all this will
j be accomplished . within two or three years.
Then London and St. Petersburg will be in direct
and instantaneous connection with San Francisop
and New York, rendering a telegraph across the
Atlantic Ocean quite unnecessary.
How long it will be before our islands are con
nected with the o'd countries by telegraph is not
for us to say, but it will be some time before
capitalists here will venture to risk laying fur us
a '2.V00 mile-cable at a cost of ,4t"0 a mile.

To Arrive. Several vessels are looked from San
Francisco soon. Ann eg them :
Clipper ship tjottt. Lerkie, to sail Nov. to 10. IW Nov. 25.
(steamship Rrpublir, Alk-n, to sail Nor. 15. Iiue Nov. 2S.
Clipper ship Lld'ijr, to sail Utter part of Nov.
The ship Sea Serpent has probably gone paM, as
she was to leave on the 4th. The steamship Repub
lic is commanded by Cupt. Allen, who visited our
port in the steamer Surprise some four months ago."
He is reported to have sold thai vesel in China at a
handsome profit, returned ta San Francisco,' and is
now taking out a second atid larger steamer. Tire
stories about bis being a secessionist and privateer,
are wholly unfounded, as all who know him person
ally can vouch.
A Hard Pcll. The steamer was thirty boars on
her last passage up from Kauai arriving at ber dock
at 10 P. M. on Sunday nijjht. ' Oa tlie passage to
Lahaina she also fell behind time, arriving at that
port a little before noon. Ou both passages she had
strong winds and currents to contend with.
Sailors' Homk. The reports of the proceedings
and officers of this worthy institution, will be found
on our fourth psge. We are glad to learn that the
Home is now free from all debt.

Com. Paly, will sail on SaturJay next, taking the
American and European mails. Files of the Com
